| Should we all unite into a unified voice we could overcome much and effect real change and many in desperate circumstances could be given opportunity to thrive. You live in Bristol, right? Have you contacted Autistic UK, which is run by autistic people in the UK for autistic people? https://autisti... |

| Who gave them authority to speak for 150 million people? Nobody did. A few thousands of autistics who oppose cure have gathered worldwide and started the Autistic Community. Autistics who support cure are only a small minority, but they do have their own movement, called "Autistic Dark Web&quo... |

| How many of these protestors could raise a child let alone an autistic child or one with downs syndrome? One of the main protesters, Emma Dalmayne, is an autistic mother who is raising 5 autistic children: https://www.learnfromautistics.com/voices-spectrum-16-emma-dalmayne-neurodiverse-parenting-au... |

| They're only a small fringe group with to much time on their hands. There is a saying we all heard if. "The devil makes work for idle hands". In the case of autistics it's more "unhealthy obsessions and poor judgment makes work idle autistics" I'm not sure if they have have too ... |

| I think stopping all research into autism like these protestors intend is a dangerous precedent they're attempting to start and one that I feel is unwelcomed by most autistics. I think the protestors only want to stop genetic research, not other types of research. I'm not sure if that is unwelcomed... |

| For someone like me who has zero chance of being picked up if I take a stumble, autism is just a significant stumbling block into having the life I want. So wouldn't it be better to take money away from genetic research and put it into research that would help autistic people deal with work, indepe... |
